So it would only be fair that I acknowledge that I have watched every episode of Bravo’s “Pregnant in Heels” series. I had to throw in my two cents on this one. I went into this thinking that it was going to be primarily about Rosie Pope who has her own boutique for maternity clothing whose niche is that you can wear the garments after baby as well.
After the first episode, I wasn’t impressed-but thought that I would give it another shot. Now I purely watch it to complete the season but find myself turned off by the entire thing.
So this is the deal-on top of being a boutique/clothing designer Rosie Pope performs a variety of tasks to help the wealthy mom-to-be of NY with a very broad range of services on anything that they want for a price.
After the first few episodes I found myself frustrated with the majority of the content and unable to identify with any of the clients or Rosie Pope herself. The only time that I have felt some type of connection to her is when she is talking about the process that she is going through trying to get pregnant-but that literally is only like one minute of the half hour show. I would have been interested in seeing that as more the focus and her clients secondary. I would also say that it was a huge let down to see this person as a designer of maternity clothing (which let us face this fact-we just never see those designers anywhere!) not designing clothing! We don’t even get to see her boutique or what/how it is doing unless she is sitting there for 2 seconds asking what the day is going to be like. What a letdown! I didn’t even realize that her clothing was what she was wearing in the show or that the niche was you could wear it AFTER pregnancy until a couple of episodes in when it was lightly mentioned when a client asked her to do a fashion show for charity.
I had thought that the show was going to be more geared towards something like…well…”The Rachel Zoe Project.” I never really got into that show, but when they would show the repeats I watched all of them because I found the fashion interesting. I believed that the meld between fashion and motherhood would be right up my alley since that is where I am right now-attempting to start a clothing line and a new mother! Boy was I wrong.
FRUSTRATING:
- · The new mommy quiz she does-it is unrealistic and just bottom line stupid. It is obvious she is only going off of her children and her experience and not taking anything else into consideration-sooooo unrealistic. I can’t think of a worse way to make a new mom feel like a complete failure and the bottom line is it serves no purpose!
- · Baby proofing for a newborn-REALLY????? This is just absolutely ridiculous! I know of NO child that comes straight from womb to running around your house the first week. Yet again-just another way for her clients to feel like idiots and it is not necessary.
- · Lack of her fashion and boutique in the episodes
- · Smack talking-how on earth are you able to see clients after this shows on TV and you have called all of your clients crazy and out of control???? If I had paid for her services and heard her smack talk about me on Bravo after the fact…hmmmm lawsuit???
Anyways, that is just my little voice on the subject. I was largely disappointed and had been excited about this series. I keep holding out that something will change with the show, but I doubt it. If it happens to come back for a next season…I won’t be tuning in. The show has made it impossible to identify with anyone including the main star of the show!
